Overview by IAAF

The first semi-final brought together the three eventual medal-winning teams and generated a world record in the process. The United States clocked 37.40 to equal the record set at the Barcelona Olympic Games. It was a slight disappointment to see the same team fail to improve on that time in the final, where Burrell had to slow down to receive the baton from Mitchell. Nevertheless, the United States won easily from a star-studded British team. “We pressed too much,” said Burrell. “We wanted to break the world record and that cost us our concentration. Our handoffs were not nearly as good as they were yesterday.” Carl Lewis surrendered his place on the team to Leroy Burrell, who failed to qualify for the individual events in Stuttgart. However, one runner from the winning Helsinki quartet was among the medals again – Calvin Smith. He ran in Mitchell’s place in the heats and so was awarded an extra medal.

These are the official results of the Men's 4x100 metres event at the 1993 IAAF World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. Their final was held on Sunday 1993-08-22.
